I had one of these!! Wow... I'd totally forgotten about it. I believe that was a pull out drinks tray on the front. I remember carrying it around by those neck handles cos it kept getting stuck in corners 🤣

You know it’s the future when it says “2000” on it.
Oh man. I remember vividly when I, back the 90s, learned Japanese (not because of anime) through a university-program that assigned you a Japanese and they teached you Japanese while you teached them German. So one day this awesome dude pulled out a Sony ebook. And used it like it was just a cup of tea. My eyes fell out, we didn't have ebooks for another 20yrs.
Of course it was a fat brick, but he had everything on it and it was so mighty cool. This day I thought hard about emigration and felt like we were in the darn midage 😑
Oh man I wanted that thing so bad when I was a kid.
I had the less-cool but still really cool Verbot.
Love that Frigidaire ad!
